step (1): connect to database

step (2): query database, according to your database API

step (3): read results returned from query

step (4): close database connection.


i don't know much about Oracle, but the MySQL API is here : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/c.html

for MySQL, you will include the <mysql.h> and link to the libraries and use compiler-specific flags provided by the vendor (Sun). Oracle I'm sure is similar.
